Results of Continuous Monitoring of the Performance of Rubella Virus IgG and Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antibody Assays Using Trueness Controls in a Multicenter Trial
Abstract
We conducted a multicenter trial in Canada to assess the value of using trueness controls (TC) for rubella virus IgG and hepatitis B virus surface antibody (anti-HBs) serology to determine test performance across laboratories over time. TC were obtained from a single source with known international units. Seven laboratories using different test systems and kit lots included the TC in routine assay runs of the analytes. TC measurements of 1,095 …
